Once a mercenary of Queen Elizabeth I fighting Spaniards in Africa, Solomon met the Devil's Reaper and discovered he was bound for hell. Barely escaping, he soon renounced violence to atone for his past sins, seeking out redemption in a life of peace. That is until the followers of sorcerer Malachi kidnap a Puritan girl Meredith Crowthorn and brutally slaughter her family before his very eyes, forcing Solomon to take up arms and return to his violent ways once more to rescue her. Doing so also means returning to his birthplace and facing his older brother Marcus who he accidentally left disfigured and for the dead in the past, and who now serves as a merciless enforcer to Malachi.
